Name | Housing Choice Vouchers |
Summary | Number of Housing Choice (Section 8) Vouchers (HCV) in public housing properties, percentage of HCV renters in occupied public rental units, and total renter-occupied units |
Additional Background |
This database contains the number of Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) (Section 8) used in public housing properties, the percentage of renter-occupied HCV housing units, and the calculated total number of renter occupied units. Data are not reported for Census Tracts or counties with fewer than 11 HCVs to protect privacy. Data reflect annual values (December for 2019-2024) September for 2017-2018.
2023-2024 Census Tract data reflect 2020 boundaries. 2017-2022 data reflect 2010 Census Tract boundaries. Although there is considerable overlap between 2010 and 2020 Census Tract boundaries, users should exercise caution when mapping 2017-2022 data as these may not correspond to 2020 Census Tract boundaries.
